Notes:

     Traffic at the complete review did improve over December, but remains sluggish.
     There was not much movement on the bestseller list, and even a new review of a popular title such as The Marriage Plot (added 10 January) could not crack the top 15, coming in at number 17.

For recent bestseller lists, go to previous lists.
For annual and older lists, see also the 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, , 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010 lists.
